Subject: Bear's tape?

I have been making my way back through the years in search of nice AUD recordings. Supposedly, Bear made this tape.It is a good recording. Also, this is a fine show. Not every night had a monster jam sequence around Dark Start or The Other One. This is a long show with the Dead as a rock n roll band. The playing is cohesive and tight. What a treat!

Subject: '72 audience tapes ! Great !

I'm really liking some of these '72 audience tapes , and I was familiar with the Houston 11/18 &19/72 and until 11/ 19 was IMO the best "Box Of Rain" , but this one sounds so good and The Vocals are some of the best to ever come out of Dead even Donna sans Playing in the Band which still isn't as bad as later. '72 and '73 is probably my favorite years if I had to choose and some 74-78 and the late '80s when I was going on tour !

Subject: Wow, a Bear non-board!

There is a recent bonanza of fall '72 audience tapes, and this one from Bear himself is very nice. I also dig the sound quality of the 2nd night in Milwaukee, but it can't compare to this one for clear ambiance. Take a whiff on me!

Subject: good show, ok quality

A heaping helping of some well done beefy material from late seventy two
An ample amount of always abundant slamming, psychadelic China Cat Sunflower riffs
One of my favorite harmonious transitions into the traditionally acclaimed I Know You Rider
A trip through a Box of Rain, past the Candyman, through some sweet Sugar Magnolia
Until finally we start Goin Down The Road Feeling Bad, and fade away with Uncle John's Band.

She's a perty tasty seventy two treat. Okay audience recording, but there is a slight hiss.

**$$**Warning from Joe Dolla**$$**

THIS SHOW IS MEANT TO BE LISTENED TO WITH MOUNTAIN DEW IN THE BLOODSTREAM.
